And London, the capital city, is usually their first stop. What can they see? What can they experience! Getting around in London is not difficult. There is the underground train, the oldest in the world, or the traditional double-decker bus. A boat trip along the River Thames takes you to the Tower of London* Going around the city center on foot is easy. The maps in the streets will show you what is around you in five-minute walk. You can get a great view of the city from 135 meters up on a huge wheel, the London Eye. Look across the river and you will see the Houses of Parliament and the famous clock tower, Big Ben. There are over 240 museums in the capital, but the two most popular are in South Kensington and cost nothing to get into. In the Natural History Museum, the key word is Big. Next to it is the Science Museum. It has those great British inventions, the history of flight and exploration（探索） of space.26.

London Eye D. the Science MuseumB A little stream ran down from a high mountain far, far away through many villages and forests, until it reached a desert .The stream then thought, Ive been through countless difficulties. I should have no problem crossing this desert! But as she started her journey, she found herself slowly disappearing into the sand. After many tries, she still failed and was very unhappy. Maybe I cant reach the ocean in the end , she said sadly to herself. At this time, a deep voice came, If a breeze(微风)can cross the desert, so can a river. It was the voice of the desert. But the little stream replied, Thats because a breeze can fly, but I cannot. Thats because you cant give up what you are. If you like to do it, and left yourself evaporate(蒸发)into the breeze, it can take you across, and you can reach the ocean. said the desert. Give up what I am now and disappear into the breeze? No! No! The little stream could not accept this idea. Afier all, she had never experienced anything like it before. The breeze can carry the vapor(蒸汽)across the desert and let it leave as rain. The rain will form a river again to continue its course. explained the desert very patiently. And whether youre a river or vapor, your nature never changes, continued the desert. Hearing this, the little stream rushed into the open arms of the breeze, which carried her to the next stage of her life. The course of our lives is like the experience of the little stream. If you want to overcome(克服) the difficulties in your life to head for the success, you should also change the way you used to be.29. Before the stream reached the desert, she didnt _. A. believe in herself B. meet any difficulties C. want to cross the dessert D. worry about the journey to the ocean30.The underlined word it in Paragraph 3 refers to(指的是) _.

In August, it is very hot and wet in the southern part of the United States. People there have heart trouble and other kinds of heart problems in this month. In the northeast and the Middle West, it is very hot at some times and very cold at other times. People in these states have more heart trouble after the weather changes in February or March. The weather can also influence intelligence. For example, in a 1983 report by scientists, the IQs of a group students were very high when a very strong wind came, but after the strong wind, their IQs were 10% lower. The wind can help people have higher intelligence. Very hot weather, on the other hand, can make it lower. Students in many schools of the United States often get worse on exams in the hot months of the year (July and August). Weather also has a strong influence on peoples feelings. Winter may be a bad time for thin people. They usually feel cold in these months. They might feel unhappy in cold weather. But fat people may have a hard time in hot summer. At about 18, people become stronger. Low air pressure may make people forgetful. People leave more bags on buses in shops on low-air-pressure days. There is a good weather for intelligence and health. People feel best at a temperature of about 18 . Are you feeling sad, tired, forgetful, or unhappy today? It may be the weathers problem.33.

But for five dollars a week, you can help out a child like Maria. Show her that somewhere, someone will help her. Through Save the Children, you can help Marias mother get better crops (收成) from their farm, and earn the money to buy clothes and things for school. To help Maria most, your money is to put together with other helpers, so hardworking people can help themselves. Build a school or a hospital, make their farm better, bring in clean water. This is what Save the Children has been about since 1932. For you there are many returns. You can write letters to each other, get photos, or study reports.
